On our way
to the November rally with our FMCA club, we decided to visit a Florida State
Park we have not been to before which was on our intended route. First, we
crossed the new I- 10 bridge over the Pensacola Bay which was completed without
a great deal of interruption to traffic.
We checked
in the Big Lagoon State park on the west side of Pensacola. This coastal park is a gateway for many activities
including boating, fishing, hiking and beginning or ending a 1, 515-mile sea
kayaking circumnavigational saltwater paddling trail around the entire
state.
The campground
is in a rustic setting with power and nature all around. The roads and sites may not be suitable for
some large rigs. We enjoyed walking the
trails, boardwalks and the scenic water overlooks and the natural beauty of the
park.
The club
rally was held at the Sugar Sands RV Resort just south of Foley, Alabama. This park certainly deserves to call itself a
resort. It was a very nice park and our
small group had a great time here. If you
are looking for a nice place to stay in the area, this would be a good choice.
On our way
home, we made a lunch stop along the beach in Gulf Shores, AL
